VISUAL EF9ECTS | Architecture and the Chess Game of Form & Story
BY JEF7REY HILDNER
“Great art is the outward expression of an inner life of the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.” —Edward Hopper
"[A] book is about how words ordered on a page may supply some order for one’s life, may assuage and even redeem tragedy." ―Claudia Roth Pierpont, "Elizabeth Bishop’s Art of Losing" in The New Yorker
ARCHITECTURE IS A CHESS GAME OF FORM & STORY WAGED ON THE BATTLEFIELD OF A BUILDING AND ITS SITE
THE ARMIES OF FORM & STORY FIGHT THE WAR OF ART
THEY FIGHT FOR OUR MIND AND SOUL AND HEART
JEF7REY HILDNER | ARCHITECT — Q.F.B.
“We bring to our projects the architecture of ourselves." ―Mikhail Bahtkin
The viewer above features the book cover: front cover and dust jacket—two different versions, including a version—the third and fourth images in the sequence of four cover images above—in which I dare to inset my selfie on the front cover (of a book about architectural theory, no less). In the spirit of Cubist painter Georges Braque who said that "art is meant to disturb" (ideally, in a constructive and positive way), I seek to create an unexpected Form & Story Visual Ef9ect.
A book cover (front, back, and dust jacket) is a primary cultural example of what I call The Aesthetic & Symbolic Rectangle: the basis of art, whether concrete, canvas, page, or (what you're looking at here) screen . . .
